Mark Stevens anmswered Matt West:

 MW: ">How will the Windows 3.11 machine cope with reading the hard disk in the
 ">Win95 machine that has long file and directory names ?
 "
 MS:"I cannot remember the exact answer to this (I've been using Windows 95
 "too long) but it copes.  The two possible solutions are:
 "
 "1. The directory name is truncated at 6 characters and the last two
 "characters are replaced by ~n where n is an incrementing number.  This
 "ensures that directory names such as "Microsoft Visual Basic" and
 ""Microsoft Office" remain unique.
 "
 "2. Truncated at 8 characters.
 "
 "I think that option 1 is correct.  This is how Windows 95 presents the
 "file names to the DOS box in the shortend form.

Me: By default, 1. But can be set up to use 2.
